'Henryi' has chocolate purple-red flowers with beautiful yellow throats and these blooms are carried from early summer through to early autumn. The flowers are followed by small berries which are purplish-black in colour with a light waxy bloom. The common name for this elegant climbing plant is Henry's Honeysuckle; every garden should have an EVERGREEN Henry!
Honeysuckle Lonicera 'Mint Crisp'- Lonicera 'Mint Crisp' is an outstanding NEW variety of evergreen honeysuckle that has attractive variegated green and cream foliage which will brighten up any trellis or wall and has the added bonus that the foliage will change in colour and have a distinctive pink hue with the onset of colder temperatures in the autumn. This climbing plant really does deserve to be planted near doors and paths that are frequently used, not only so it can be seen regularly but so you can enjoy the beautiful sweet fragrance it gives off - a sheer delight!
Passiflora caerulea - HARDY Blue passion flower- Passion Flower 'Passiflora caerulea' is a profuse bloomer in early summer to late autumn with stunning exotic looking BLUE flowers and as the plant itself matures the flowers deepen in colour and this hardy vine will not disappoint and will reward you year on year. After flowering this vine produces egg-shaped, orange-yellow fruits and these can be left on the plants for decoration. The fruits are not really edible butr the birds do seem to enjoy them!
